After a four hour session and a 3-2 vote the Bosque County School Board denied a petition to de annex part of the old Mosheim School District from Valley Mills ISD and re annex it to Clifton. The meeting featured heated testimony from both sides with minutes showing votes for and against the motion and appeals pending for those opposed.
Mr. Smith asserts 19 residents seek de annexation relief and asks the Texas statute be used to require the County Board to consider the plea. He requests a tax office certificate listing qualified voters and moves that the map and petition be added to the record. He files certification of qualified taxpayers a voter list for the former Mosheim District a student list and supporting brief remarks. He says grass roots rights begin with citizens and notes different reasons for signing the petition and maps the area for the board.
Mr Cureton urged against area change arguing discretionary action rests with the board. The Mosheim annexation to Valley Mills was previously granted and voters later decided in an election by a 4 166 19 margin, as noted in the CONS page 6 A.
Two days after Bosque County School Board denied a Mosheim petition to reallocate territory from Valley Mill to Clifton, petitioners filed an appeal with the Texas Education Agency in Austin and with the County School Superintendent in Meridian.
